CUSTOMER REVIEWS

I recently purchased these pants and have worn them over and over again ever since. A very versatile addition to my wardrobe, they can be paired with a variety of tops, accessories, jewelry, footwear, and even headwear. Dressed up or down, these pants will become my "go to" piece whether I'm going to an event, traveling or even staying home! P.S. The matching Marketplace square scarf and Sneha Tank in light chili are two of the pieces I have worn with these field pants. I LOVE Marketplace garments and have many of them in my closet. Thank you to all of the artisan sisters for making MY world more colorful. I am grateful to the organization for their mission to empower women. Namaste.
